Zoho Vs Zoho One – which should you choose?

How the pricing affects your enterprise?

When you are deciding whether to go with A la carte pricing model and choose to subscribe to only a few applications, or just Zoho CRM, instead of choosing to go with one of the Zoho Bundles, specifically Zoho One, or vice versa, it is best to compare the cost savings you could make by thoroughly going through the plans and their advantages when choosing the best option for your enterprise.

Let’s say you want to choose a few applications; then, you might have to make comparisons to check whether Zoho One vs Zoho CRM or Zoho One vs Zoho Creator is your best bet. Will the CRM alone fit your business needs, or does your enterprise need a custom application developed?!

Once you shortlist the applications, you need the overall pricing; check whether it works for you or if it is better to go with multiple applications included in Zoho One, even though you do not use all of them.

Consider the below example to understand better what we say above; the Zoho One subscription plan requires you to purchase the license for all of your employees while it is not the case for Zoho CRM Plus or other bundles or even the a la carte pricing model.

But the catch here is the Zoho One bundle is available at remarkably nominal pricing that provides enormous features and applications.

Now, let’s say you are running a company of 3-5 employees and just starting your business; choosing only the applications you need becomes a relatively costly affair.

However, even though you need to licence it for all the employees or most employees, opting for Zoho One still works out cheaper and becomes affordable. On the other hand, you also get a feature-rich array of applications in the Zoho One bundle.

Or maybe you are an enterprise with many employees; It does not make sense to licence Zoho One for all of your employees when only a handful of them use the applications, then choosing the different pricing model of the Zoho One might still work better.

Even when the pricing of Zoho One seems higher when you want to license it for only a few employees compared to licensing it for all, the number of applications and features it renders still makes it a better option than any.

So, weighing your options based on the pricing helps make the decision easier and more practical at times like this. One utmost advantage of going with Zoho One is that the 45+ applications you get under the bundle are all enterprise-level applications which also plays a major role in weighing your options.
